Default Dumb clock question.

For no reason at all my clock in the car has decided to start working. At first I thought it would be just temporary and would quit so I didn't worry about setting it. But it's been going steady for a couple days now. So now that I want to set it, I cant figure out how? The best I can figure is there's supposed to be an adjustment **** to the lower right of the clock that must be missing because there's a small pinhole there. Am I right? Or is this supposed to be set another way?

You are exactly right about the adjustment ****. It should be a chrome **** mounted to the shaft by a VERY small chrome screw. The **** is mounted to a shaft that connects through the center cluster to the clock. It is possible that the shaft broke off but that would be odd. I have seen a number of cars where the chrome **** is missing, but not the shaft. Congratulations on the clock fix. ;) I wish mine would work but there isn't any way I am taking that cluster apart so that I can get the clock out to work on it. What a PITA.

You could always set it by disconnecting the battery.

Of course, you'd have to hope that it started again.

Or you could just leave it alone and be like the rest of the Corvette world. Hey it's accurate twice a day. :D

Looks like the adjustment **** and shaft are missing then. :( Disconnecting the battery is something that completly eluded me. It is only an hour and 45 min off. If it doesn't start back up, no harm no foul.
